With AK or Diaw they still have no shot at betting the Lakers. I don’t mind hanging on to AK for a few months, but we need to get something in return for the $80 million he has basically stole from us. Diaw can be an amazing player at times and I say under Sloan he could get much better. If we look back a year from now and don’t get anything i.e, a championship, value for trading AK, even a solid year for AK, Jazz fans will be ripping KOC for not pulling the trigger on the deal. I honestly don’t understand why most Jazz fans love AK, he maybe worth $10 mil a year and if he plays his heart out and has an unbelievable season… next year he’s gone. Gone to a team that will continue to pay $18 mil a year based on 1 prior good year. His contract has screwed the Jazz over since it was signed in ’05, it especially screwed us this off-season… Wes Matthews???????? Since the ’05 contract he has averaged 12 pts, 1.7 blks, 3.3 asts, 5 rbs per game and played in 81% of games. I don’t see $18 mil a year(honestly I don’t see more than $8 mil) and I don’t see why all these Jazz fans are having a damn hissy fit.

If I were a real Jazz fan, and not just a curious fellow traveler, I would certainly be against the trade. Let’s face it, I’m against it anyway. Boris Diaw is BORING. Kirilenko is RUSSIAN. Nuff said.

Sure, Denver would be losing Melo, but they’d be gaining to really good bigs in return. Billups would do well with these new additions. Add to that AK’s passing and playmaking skills, and I think the team would be better than last year. Derrick Favors will be a post force. AK fills so many needs and promotes teamwork. This is what Denver has been missing. I think this team would gel and become a much bigger threat to the Jazz.

They make the Melo trade, the Nuggets turn into a 20-win team, the Blazers are still always injured, and the Jazz win their division and have home court in the first round and they save money on tax. Oh, and they get a young(er) guy who can play different positions (ala Lamar Odom).
